No I've never seen a celebrity at an AP, although I did run into Diddy at McDonald's once...
However when I was REAL little (no more than two), this was back when Joseph Entertainment still owned Lake Compounce, my family and I supposedly were behind Marie Osmond on Saw Mill Plunge. How Exciting!

Being in Atlanta, I've encountered several celebrities, mostly in the music biz. Running into Bow wow or whatever his name is became an annual event for a while there...
Me and a couple of my buddies ran into Joe Rogan at Universal when they filmed Fear Factor there a few years back.
LOL @ Gary Sinese. Oh, if only Wes Lagattola could be so lucky...

Shaquille O'Neal, the superstar center of the Miami Heat, is the man I saw at Universal Studio's Islands of Adventure. To be perfectly honest, I didn't really meet him face-to-face, but this one retail manager said how she saw Shaq heading towards the back of the park. It didn't work out though because it was downright pouring & we just wanted to get out of there.

I saw Dolly Parton at, of course, Dollywood. Se wasn't there for any shows or openings, she was just walking around everywhere.
I also saw Tony Hawk at Epcot when he was getting on Mission: SPACE with his family.

I'm not sure what it was, but he was one of the opening acts when I went there to see the All American Rejects.
We were on the same train as him, and we had to get sniffed out by dogs? Like we're just gonna get out of our seat in the back, climb over evreyone during the ride, and kill him? Honeslty.

I've seen Nickelback, the drummer from Green Day, Lynn Swan, John Mayer, 3 Doors Down, Ben Affleck, etc. At Hershey Park, you get a lot of musicians when they play in the stadium.

Wow. I'm not generally star-struck, but this would have had me squealing like an excited little girl. Seriously.
My favorite celebrity encounter was meeting Mr. T at Children's National Medical Center in D.C. He stuck an autographed photo in my face and said in classic Mr. T style, "Here, kid, have a picture."

I met some new celebrities over the summer. I met Bow Wow (formerly Lil' Bow Wow). I was his guide through the hospital I help out at. I also met Peyton Manning at a golf tournament. Since I was working the tournament, it was my responsibility to keep him company out on the golf course, and who could say no to that!

My family and I saw David Robinson in the Orlando airport this past spring. And I met Ella Jenkins (a frequent guest on Mr. Rogers) at the Brookfield Zoo where I work some years ago. My mom has also seen James Young (from the band Styx) at a natural food store near our house a couple of times.

I saw Mick Foley at Six Flags Great Adventure once. Although he was doing a book signing. Interestingly enough I met him some time later when he was at Shea Stadium.

David Soul, who was on Starsky and Hutch lived somewhere in the area, where I live. David gave a friend of mine a ride to work, from time to time, as my buddy didn't own a car, at the time. This was back in the late 1970's to early 1980's. David Soul owned a Toyota pick-up truck at that time. I met him myself at that time, as well. He's a nice guy.

I think it was 2006 when my friend and I saw the singer Ciara at SFGAdv on the ride Nitro. I think she had just finished a concert or something in the park and was going on all the rides before closing time. She and her bodyguards got to cut the line and got an entire train to themselves!

I've seen and met my share of celebrities, having lived in NYC for ten years. However, as far as parks go, I bumped into Mick Foley at Coney Island - in the NY Aquarium, actually. He seemed like a really cool person...
